Introduction to the Notes App

Explore the process of creating a feature-rich CRUD notes application using Golang and Beego. Gain practical skills in database connectivity, HTTP routing, and managing notes with create, read, update, and delete operations on a MySQL backend.

Building a CRUD notes application

In the following lessons, we’ll create a CRUD (create, read, update, delete) notes application using the Go programming language and the Beego framework.

Application endpoints

Our application will provide the following HTTP endpoints to handle various operations on notes:

Request Type

Endpoint

Description

GET

/notes

It will display all the notes available in the application, allowing the user to browse his/her existing notes at a glance.

GET

/notes/new

This endpoint renders a form to create a new note.

POST

/notes

When the user submits the form on /notes/new page, this endpoint is responsible for creating a new note and adding it to our application.

GET

/notes/:id

It enables users to view the details of a specific note. When the user clicks on it, it displays the title and content of the selected note.

GET

/notes/edit/:id

It renders the form to edit the note with the ID passed in the URL

POST

/notes/:id

When users submit the form on /notes/edit/:id, this endpoint will be in charge of updating the note with the modified title and content.

DELETE

Users can delete a note using this endpoint, allowing them to remove notes they no longer need.
